Verdict: for a Meet-and-Webex week, Krisp's case is uniformity: one virtual microphone under both apps (and everything else), immune to Meet's Workspace-tier gate and Webex's mode confusion, filtering both directions on Windows and Mac. Free access is now a 7-day trial only, verified October 8, 2026; after it, unlimited is $8/mo annual ($16 monthly). Skip it if your tier includes Meet's toggle, your Webex mode is set right, and your noise is the steady mechanical kind — the built-ins are free and adequate there.

From documentation and verified vendor facts: Krisp's help-center plan terms and pricing, Google's tier documentation for Meet, Cisco's Smart Audio docs — all checked at the dates shown — plus the structural logic of device-layer filtering. No invented lab results; the trial checklist at the end is the test that matters, run on your calls.
What one filter under both apps changes
| Pain | Built-in reality | With Krisp beneath |
|---|---|---|
| Meet toggle missing | Tier-gated | Irrelevant — filters pre-browser |
| Webex mode confusion | Three modes, wrong one common | One setting, both apps |
| Noisy far-end participants | Not addressed (Webex: phone calls only) | Incoming cleaned |
| Background voices | Kept by design | Voice isolation (enrolment) |
| App-hopping weeks | Two settings screens | Zero additional setup |
Scenario read-through, limitations attached
The free-account Meet user
No tier upgrade needed — filtering happens before the browser. Limitation: the toggle your tier didn't include now costs $8 a month once Krisp's 7-day trial ends; there's no free tier to lean on.
The all-hands operator
Uniform audio policy across Meet, Webex and whatever the acquired team uses — one enrolment, one behaviour. Limitation: shared conference-room mics are the wrong place for voice isolation; keep the all-voices problem on Webex's mode there.
The noisy-caller victim
Incoming cleanup covers meeting participants, not just phone calls — beyond what either built-in offers. Limitation: it can't fix their choppy network; starvation garble isn't noise.
The old laptop
Device-layer ML bills the CPU. Limitation: on aging machines, audible strain — trial on your worst hardware first; the built-ins may serve better there.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Facts that matter |
|---|---|---|
| Free trial | $0 for 7 days | Every premium feature, no card — and no free plan after it: when the trial ends, access ends with it unless you subscribe. |
| Core | $8/mo annual · $16 monthly | Unlimited noise cancellation, per user. |
| Advanced | $15/mo annual · $30 monthly | Team features; most Meet/Webex individuals won't need it. |

Who should skip it
- Tier-included Meet users with mechanical noise — the free toggle already covers you.
- Correct-mode Webex desks — mode selection was the fix; enjoy it.
- RTX-on-Windows owners — NVIDIA Broadcast serves the core case at $0.
- Rare-call schedules — a paid plan would mostly sit idle.
Trial checklist (the only test that counts)
- Your loudest recurring meeting — judged by attendees, not by you.
- One browser-Meet call on a free account — confirming the gate bypass matters to you.
- CPU on the oldest machine in rotation.
- Whether you'd pay to keep it on day eight, when the trial stops.
One filter, both apps, free to prove
Running Meet on Mondays and Webex on Thursdays means two settings screens — or one Krisp underneath both. One filter, both directions, every app; a free trial week first, then decide whether it's worth paying for.
